About me
Meet, Anca Cooney
How long have you been doing what you do, and how did you become a holistic health and wellness coach?
Two defining moments in my life brought me to where I am today…..
In 2010, I stood in my kitchen, teasing my fat rolls, complaining about splotchy skin with no energy to do anything about it. I wanted sugar – lots of sugar because it was the only thing that made me feel like me. I couldn’t sleep, and I couldn’t think about work.
I was on the verge of breaking down. I hurt physically and mentally.
My marriage started falling apart.
From the outside, I was living this perfect life, had the ideal job, and I was financially secure.
I had everything I was supposed to want.
And I was miserable.
I felt like I was on a roller coaster living a life that I could not control.
Sugar controlled my life. I tried the diets, the eating “perfectly.” I cracked and then felt guilty between punishing myself with food, exercise, and negative self-talk.
I ran across an article about how sugar can negatively affect my body – diabetes, low energy levels, increased inflammation, obesity, and heart disease. I reread it – low energy, sleep problems, depression, and extra weight jump out this time.
It was me!
I read the studies (and, yes, they can be confusing) that showed why we find sugar so appealing, why it soothes our feelings. Why we turn to it for comfort – it activates the brain’s reward center, releasing‚” the feel-good” hormones dopamine and beta – endorphins.
Discovering this truth about sugar triggered me, and I started asking myself what drives my body to desire sugar? Why do I have this constant craving? Am I craving sugar, or is there something else that I am missing in my life?
I tried the same things you probably tried and started to exercise more and put myself on different diets. But it left me so frustrated and tired. I felt like a failure because no matter what I tried, I still felt stuck, fat, and unhappy. I must have tried and done every single diet that was out there. I have counted calories, measured my food cut carbs, cut fat, fasted, and done every fad diet out there. You name it! I have done it all!
And the result was the same: I lost the weight (Yeah!), and shortly after I finished the diet, I had gained the weight back on and still craved sugar (Boo!).
The secret of winning the cravings game
My body had enough. I looked at my future and thought if I don’t do something right now and something big, I’m not getting off this roller coaster. What am I going to do about it?
But, what if my past does not equal my future? What if I could create a better experience? What if I could be happy, healthy, and vibrant?
I was skeptical about trying something new I was scared and confused. I tried and failed so many times before only to end up worse each time.
I realized in one moment; I realized I was feeding my hungry soul. I was craving sugar because I felt emotionally depleted and was filling my void with chocolate and ice cream, and pastries. But, it never filled the void for long.
Slowly but surely, I shifted some things, and my sugar cravings realigned. When I went to the grocery shop, I started buying everything fresh and made meals from scratch. I started with just breakfast, then dinner, and finally all my meals.
It was more work, but so rewarding, knowing that what I put in my body was so good for me. Eating healthy foods changed my life and gave me new awareness. I began to notice a definite change in the way my skin looked, and I started losing weight. Even my friends started to comment on my endless energy and full of life attitude.
I found foods that don’t take me on a sugar roller coaster. I stopped eating the sugary food and switched to healthy proteins, fats, and veggies instead. Changing my eating habits helped me liberate myself from excess weight, overcome my sugar cravings, have clear skin, gain clarity, and end my sleepless nights.
I commit to exercising 30 minutes every day because I know that it’s the everyday bit that counts. I started doing yoga and added meditation to my life, too.
I started to listen more to my body and thrive for the mind, body, and spirit balance.
I firmly believe that it is essential to have a natural, simple way to restart our health and eating habits.
As my health transformed, so has my life. In 2014, I began to research more and discovered holistic health coaching.
Choosing a holistic approach to wellness encouraged me to look at food in two ways
The food that I want
The food that I would nourish my soul daily
As a holistic health and wellness coach, I learned how to set goals and achieve them, how to turn healthy choices into life long habits, how to overcome obstacles and cravings, how to eat the foods I love responsibly, how to maintain a healthy weight, and how to overcome limiting beliefs.
I do this not only for myself but for others, too. My own wellness journey finding a healthy lifestyle was empowering and liberating. I discovered that I could I learn what I need to do, and I could also help others how to liberate sugar cravings, achieve sustainable weight loss, and take control of their life.
Now, I have confidence, strength, joy, and energy to live the life I envision for myself.
Liberating is the word that made my whole wellness journey, and I belive that every aspect of our life is about liberation. To live a happy and fulfilled life, I liberated myself from all that was holding me back those sugar cravings, belly fat, old limiting beliefs, fears, trapped negative emotions, and attachments.
I wrote my book
Liberate your life and dress yourself in health and true happiness
Motivated by my own transformation and receiving fantastic feedback from coaching people all over the world, I wrote my book-“Liberate your life and dress yourself in health and true happiness.” I love being able to inspire, motivate, and help other people through their journey to health and wellness.
This book is me, raw and open, and how I have liberated my life. I now have courage, strengths, and empowerment like I had never experienced before.
I receive positive feedback that the information I shared helped. The simple yet powerful tools and ideas I share in the book had a big impact on their lives.
The book is for anyone feeling stuck or out of alignment in any way, for anyone looking for clarity or wants to liberate their life. It’s an inspirational guide for living life to the fullest.
Life is a fantastic journey, with its ups and downs. We are all here to learn and to evolve through our experiences, opportunities, successes, defeats, and achievements. Our mind, body, and soul are interconnected, and what affects one affects the other.
As a health coach, I am passionate about helping women liberate themselves from sugar cravings by discovering the root cause of their infinite appetite and take control of their health and life.
I hope for a liberating, happy, healthy, and vibrant future, and I want the same for you!
I cleaned up my life and started teaching women how they can do the same. I watch them take control of their sugar cravings, find their infinite potential, gain energy, achieve sustainable weight loss, increase their confidence, and live their healthiest and happiest life possible too! I plan to dedicate the rest of my professional life to helping women liberate sugar cravings and live their most joyful life possible.
I work with many private clients, speak in front of countless groups, and live life as a teacher. I am living my dream of helping women liberate sugar cravings by discovering the root cause of their infinite appetite, and I have created the Liberate Sugar Cravings 7 weeks Transformational Program™.

The Liberate Sugar Cravings Transformational Program™
Was created for women who are absolutely excited and totally serious about liberating sugar cravings, achieving sustainable weight loss, gaining clarity, increasing their confidence, and taking control of their health and life.
This means we defeat running around all day long, beating yourself up anymore, saying: “It doesn’t matter what I do, my sugar cravings are out of control.” We created a system that, within a few months (sometimes weeks!), leads you (not sugar) to being in control of your own life.
After overcoming my sugar cravings, I’m known to work best with women who are committed to their success, who are super-ready to get going and just want to know exactly what steps to take to liberate sugar cravings, find the root cause of their infinite appetite, achieve sustainable weight loss, gain clarity, increase confidence and take control of their health and life.

Please know I’m very selective in who I work with and I cherry-pick my clients, choosing to (gently) turn away people who aren’t suited for my program and won’t get the results for which they would have signed up for. (It wouldn’t be fair to them.)
